Releasing serpentine belt tension on a 1993 Chevrolet truck?
The idler pulley is near the top of the engine. Use a 15 MM (I think) socket on a long breaker bar, and turn the idler pulley arm so that the pulley moves away from the belt. You'll need to put the socket on the nut of the pulley, not on the arm itself. When the pulley is loose, you can pull the belt off. Some of the idler pulley arms have a square hole that accepts a 1/2 inch drive from a socket wrench breaker bar. But be careful. The serpentine belt routing is a little odd, and you'll want a picture to help you put it back. Make a drawing or take some pictures if you don't already have something from GM.
How can you unfreeze the serpentine belt adjuster on a 1992 Dodge Grand Caravan AWD?

Which fuses operate the radio and power locks and where are they located on a 2002 Dodge Caravan?
The fuse box for a 2002 Dodge Caravan SE is located next to the battery under the hood (right hand side of the car). You can pop open the lid for the fuse box and on it's underside you'll see a diagram for all the fuses outlining what each fuse is for.
I found this online.
Mine is a 2005 caravan that we bought with a dead radio, this saved me from buying a new radio.....
For a 2001 Dodge Caravan: The owner's manual is vague, only stating that all fuses are under the hood in the fuse box, no diagrams. Once you have removed the fusebox cover, the diagrams for what each fuse does is provided under the lid. UNCLEARLY marked is the radio fuse, a 20amp fuse located 2nd row from top to the right of the accessory relay. It is marked: RDO/IP IGN. For me, with a dead radio, the problem was NOT the radio fuse, but instead the 40amp, BCM #1. This is the body control module (I think that is the terminology) I pulled it, pushed it back in and heard a click like a reset. Then, my radio worked just fine! Good luck!

How do you replace the headlight assembly located on a 1994 Ford F-350 4x4?
First disconnect and remove the connections/bulbs to the headlamp, side marker light and turn signal. To remove the headlamp assembly you must first remove the headlamp "door". This is the plastic trim that surrounds the turn signal, headlamp and side marker light. To remove the headlamp door you must remove the two screws that attach the door to the front bracket. They are located on the top of the headlamp door, between the headlamp and the hood. Next, use a 7/16 socket to remove the two nuts that hold the turn signal light to the bracket. These nuts are located in recesses to the left and right of the headlamp in front of the battery or the washer/antifreeze reservoir (depending on which side you are working on). There is no need to remove the battery or the washer/antifreeze reservoir. They are recessed so you have to feel for them. The nut closest to the engine on each side may require a 1.5" socket extension as it is recessed a bit more than the nut on the fender side. After removal of the nuts slide the door assembly out, it will have the side marker and turn signal attached to it. This will expose the headlamp assembly itself. There are two silver headlamp retaining clamps on each side of the top of the headlamp. They are attached to adjusting nuts of the headlamp. These are removed by pulling upwards on them. Try not to damage the clamps as they will need to be reused on the new headlamp. There is a third headlamp retaining clamp on the fender side of the headlamp as well. It can only be seen/reached after removal of the headlamp door (hence the requirement to first remove the headlamp door). After removal of the three retaining clamps the headlamp assembly can be removed.
Reassemble in reverse order.
HEADLIGHT DOOR REMOVAL
I recommend removing the battery and the antifreeze/windshield washer reservoir. Two very simple task that made the job much easier for someone with very big hands. The driver side antifreeze/windshield washer reservoir only requires the removal of one nut (7/16). Once you have removed the one nut holding the reservoir to the bracket holding it in place, lift out towards the engine. It does not matter if the the reservoirs are full. This was the easiest of the sides to work on. You will have enough hose to simply rest it on the air filter housing. Passenger side proved a bit difficult even with the battery removed because of the battery platform. However, the job was much easier than having it in. Once you have disconnected the terminals, there is a small screw holding a support bracket in front, at the base of the battery. Remove it and you should be able to lift the battery out. When removing the two nuts that hold the turn signal and headlamp door, I recommend you have a telescoping magnet near by in case you drop the screw or the socket. The nut closest to the fender is hardest to work with.

How do you refill the freon for the air conditioning system in a 1997 dodge caravan?
First you need to determine why you need a recharge of R134a coolant. If you haven't yet purchased a set of pressure gauges you'll need to check with your auto parts store and see what they can provide. Connect the gauge to the low pressure port and run the engine with the A/C on full. Check the reading. If it reads low then you probably have a coolant leak somewhere. You can purchase coolant recharge canisters with UV dye embedded in the product. Charging the system with this and then using the UV light and glasses that are sold where you buy your products will tell you if the leak is something simple like an O-ring. or more involved like a hose, or some other hardware. If you find it to be a simple fix great. But before you buy a couple cans of refrigerant and pump them into your system you really need to vacuum the air out of the system. You'll need professional help with this, unless you know someone who works in the A/C business who owns a vacuum pump and will loan it to you. Why vacuum? Moisture. Moisture mixes with the refrigerant and becomes corrosive and will eat away at the internals of your A/C. If the vacuum draws to about 30 bars and holds pressure you are ready to recharge. You can connect the refrigerant canisters to the low pressure port and recharge.
One thing to consider. If the vacuum/pressure of the A/C system was compromised you probably exposed the air dryer to atmospheric moisture. You should replace the air dryer, prior to recharging the system.
Why does water accumulate on the floor of your 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan when the AC is on?
A/C condenser drain line is stopped up. This is allowing the water to enter the cabin. Crawl under the van and find the drain line. Usually located near the firewall passenger side. Clean out the drain tube.
Tuesday, May 15, 2007 My 2000 Grand Caravan ES gave me a surprise when I turned on the car. Many of the dash panel indicators were not are working. The speedometer stays at zero while the tachmeter was stuck at about 800RPM. The gas gauge was stuck somewhere in the middle where I think it last prior to the problem starting. The Door Ajar and Cruise indicator lights were also on and none reset when the car started or while driving. I checked all fuses without finding anything wrong so I headed to the internet in a search for answers. While searching I stumbled across a similar issue described at http://www.automotivehelper.com/topic427728.htm . This issue was answered by a mysterious vipergg which end up solving my problem. Neither to say I am grateful to this mysterious person. Here is what I did: Open your hood and look for the fuse and relay center just above the battery. Open the cover and look for a fuse called IOD and/or Memory IOD. It usually located away from the front (towards the top of the block) in the center, they are labeled . Remove the IOD fuse for 20 seconds and then reinsert. The BCM becomes hung and this will reset it in a lot of cases. Let us know how it works out.
